SILK-SCREENING
By Kirk von Rohr
Print your designs
on anything you
can hang, wear,
or tote.
Silk-screening is a great way to personalize
your gear. It’s a very basic process that has
unlimited outcomes. One of the easiest ways to
get a design on almost any surface is to use the
photo emulsion process. Once you’ve made the
screen, it’s ready to print time and time again.
Follow along as I walk my colleague Sara Huston
through the process of transferring our design to
Photography by Jen Siska
a screen, and printing it on a laptop bag.
LOCATION: You can do this at home. All you need is a sink and an
open workspace. Special thanks to Ape Do Good for letting us shoot this
project at their screen printing studio in San Francisco. Check them out at
